True story regarding rose bushes....I have a nurse friend and when we go up to Atlanta we trade ER/hospital horror stories (we both work in the medical field).She tells me the story of a fellow who is out working in his rose garden, trips, falls forward right on a thick cane of a rose bush that pierces his orbital cavity (the space above one eye).

I am interested in learning about almost anything in this field.

A one year owner warranty on a septic system isn't going to do you much good if you need to replace the leach fields in year 2.

@Markeilsha RodriguezHi there,All the knowledge I have gained in Real Estate has come from being out there and doing it; in the field.

I also noticed that if you select 30+ on your profile "Deals Complete" field that 30 will be displayed.

A personal injury attorney may not have the time to devote to really learning a new field, it's not common sense much of the time.I'd also suggest you carve out a niche, what segment of the note market you want to be in and become an expert in that area, marketing, valuations, law, finance/banking as well as all aspects of RE play in the paper game.

When it comes to marketing, in my field and occupation I have meet, know, meet with, work with, and around the biggest and best persons and entities, and over and over again when it comes upon the marketing subject it is almost like a complication competition, each racing the other to the most structured, sazy, new fandangled idea that is a "sure hit".

This brings up an interesting question: Has the government ever triumphed over private enterprise when competing with them on a level playing field?
